This Dinner Rocks!

Check out this amazing dinner table covered with food entirely made from rocks, gems and minerals! We spotted it this weekend at the annual Eureka Gem Show at the Redwood Acres fairground. I couldn't believe the show had something better than fossilized dinosaur poop!Check out the awesome pancake breakfast! Watch out for that butter! The eggs are also looking a little bit overcooked.Mmmmm. Steak.Pork chop, anyone? They cheated on the parsley, by the way.
